Full textThe analysis of pathological gait using musculoskeletal modeling is a promising approach to qualify and quantify the pathology as well as to monitor the potential recovery after therapy. When dealing with cerebral palsy, its specific neurological disorders and consequently bones deformities, specific-subject musculoskeletal models has been developed. The imaging techniques are still unaffordable in clinical practises. So, using the LifeMod software, we aimed to develop musculoskeletal model in a retrospective study to evaluate the accuracy of surgical treatments on cerebral palsy. Two principles studies are performed. First, relying on the accuracy of a rescaled generic adult skeleton, the musculoskeletal modeling limitation have been determined when applying normal gait and pathological crouch and jump postures, imitated by healthy adults and children. Second, calibration technique had been developed to refine the model’s parameters based on data collectid from the subject. Results from musculoskeletal modeling are compared to gait analysis date. As results, even if the model outputs gave correct results with healthy adults, the standard rescaled musculoskeletal modeling showed limits on predicted kinematics and muscle forces for healthy and CP children. The refinement of subject-specific joint parameters and driving the model with the experimental GRF data have a huge influence in model outputs and improve quantitatively the predicted muscle activations and forces. This work pointed out that the parameters of a rescaled generic musculoskeletal moded can be refined and personalized to improve model’s outcomes. It may represent a new perspective in clinical applications

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Conducted within a critical disability studies framework, this study explored the experience of communicative participation by adults with cerebral palsy who live with severe communication impairments. The concept of the participation of communicatively disabled people is relatively new, and the theoretical understanding of communicative participation is underdeveloped although participation is increasingly recognised as a central goal in rehabilitation. In addition, there is a paucity of information with reference to the trajectory of lifelong communication disability. Little is known about the communicative participation of adults with cerebral palsy in South Africa. Nine adults with cerebral palsy, who lived with significant communication impairments, participated in the study. They were between 32 and 49 years of age, and had lived South Africa all their lives. They were observed in social interactions in their daily lives on multiple occasions and took part in serial interviews over a six-month period. Using a pragmatist grounded theory approach, the data were analysed from an interpretive basis. Four main categories were constructed. The first category was “being misrecognised as a communicator”, which showed that the participants were not acknowledged as having equal moral participatory status in communicative exchanges. The second category, “contexts for communicating”, indicated that the participants lived with significant communication impairments which resulted in their experiencing limitations in a broad spectrum of life’s activities. The third category, “an embedded communicative self”, illuminated that the participants saw their communicative disabilities as embedded within a broader picture of being disabled, and that their communication impairments had a marked effect on their identity development. Through an analysis of lifetime contributions to communicative participation, the final category, “dynamic participation” revealed how communicative participation is a fluid, ever-changing process. Extending Ikäheimo’s (2010) model of social participation and recognition, a “dynamic recognition-theoretical model of communicative participation” is presented. Communicative participation is defined as a dynamic social process. It is undergirded by the moral recognition of the interactants as communicative partners, and is influenced by time as the dimension through which all communication takes place.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie, vanuit `n kritiese benadering, het serebraalgestermde volwassenes (wie se vermoë om te kommunikeer ernstig aangetas is) se ervaringe met betrekking tot hul deelname aan kommunikasie of situasies waarin daar gekommunikeer word, verken. Die konsep wat fokus op die deelname aan kommunikasie deur diegene wie se vermoë om te kommunikeer ernstig aangetas is, is `n relatief nuwe begrip. Die teoretiese grondslag van die konsep is onderontwikkeld, maar die konsep word toenemend gereken as een van die belangrikste doelwitte van die rehabilitasie-proses. Daar is ook`n gebrek aan inligting wat handel oor die verloop van mense se lewenslange ervaringe wie se vermoë om te kommunikeer ernstig aangetas is. Daar bestaan beperkte kennis oor volwassenes met serebraalgestremdheid in Suid-Afrika se deelname aan kommunikasie. Nege volwassenes met serebraalgestremdheid, wie se vermoë om te kommunikeer ernstig aangestas is, het deelgeneem aan die studie. Die deelnemers se ouderdomme (gedurende die tydperk waarin data-insameling plaasgevind het) het gewissel van 32 tot 49 jaar, en die deelnemers het nog altyd in Suid-Afrika gewoon. Die deelnemers se kommunikasie-gedrag gedurende verskeie sosiale situasies is waargeneem. Die deelnemers het ook oor `n periode van ses maande aan `n reeks onderhoude deelgeneem. Pragmatiese, gegronde teoretiese benadering (ook verwys na as ‘grounded theory’) is gebruik om die data te analiseer. Die bevindinge dui op vier hoof temas. Die eerste tema verwys na bevindinge wat handel oor ‘om misken te word as as iemand wat deelneem aan kommunikasie’. Die bevindinge dui daarop dat deelnemers van mening is dat hulle nie as `n gelykke beskou word gedurende situasies waarin daar gekommunikeer word. Die tweede tema verwys na ‘die konteks van kommunikasie’, en dui daarop dat weens die feit dat deelnemers se vermoë om te kommunikeer ernstig aangestas is, word hulle ook op `n verskeidenheid van lewensaktiwiteite ingeperk. Die derde tema verwys na die volgende: ‘die aantasting van die vermoë om te kommunikeer gesetel in die self’. Die tema dui daarop dat deelnemers die aantasting van hulle vermoë om te kommunikeer, sien as deel van die geheelbeeld van gestremdheid en dat die vermoë om te kommunikeer `n betekenisvolle impak op hul identiteitsontwikkel gehad het. Die lewenslange ervaringe van die deelnemers het aanleiding gegee tot die vierde en laaste tema, naamlik ‘dinamiese deelname’. Dit dui daarop dat die deelname aan kommunikasie nie staties is nie, maar voortdurend verander. Die studie bevindinge suggereer dat Ikäheimo’s (2010) se model van sosiale deelname en erkenning, uitgebrei kan word tot `n dinamiese teoretiese model wat die deelname aan kommunikasie erken. Die deelname aan kommunikasie word gedefiniëer as `n dinamiese sosiale proses. Die grondslag van die model behels die erkenning van diegene wat kommunikeer as deelgenote wat beïnvloed word deur tyd as die dimensie waardeur alle kommunikasie plaasvind.

Full textMagnetic resonance imaging has increased our understanding of cerebral palsy [1] but most studies have focused on spastic cerebral palsy, whilst neuroimaging studies of dyskinetic cerebral palsy remain scarce.Global and specific cognitive processes may be affected in cerebral palsy, with almost 50% of the cerebral palsy population having an intellectual quotient below 70 [2]. Cognitive functions are considered one of the essential “Core Sets” in cerebral palsy [3], executive function being of particular interest because of its key role in the effective acquisition of new skills, knowledge, and the application of this knowledge in life [4]. Associations between quality of life and executive function have been described in the general population, in psychiatric conditions, and in neurological conditions other than cerebral palsy [5–9].It is agreed that dyskinetic cerebral palsy is associated with poorer motor outcomes than other cerebral palsy types [10] but very few studies compare cognitive abilities in dyskinetic cerebral palsy with those of other cerebral palsy subtypes, particularly in groups with similar levels of motor ability. No study to date has specifically focused on executive function nor its association with brain magnetic resonance imaging characteristics in this cerebral palsy subtype. Basal ganglia and thalamus lesions are frequently described in people with dyskinetic cerebral palsy [11, 12] and fronto-striatal circuitry play a crucial role on executive functioning for typically developing people [13, 14]. However, there is a paucity of brain imaging studies focussing on executive functioning, with no studies including participants with dyskinetic cerebral palsy [15].The overall aim of the thesis was to characterize executive functioning and general intellectual functioning and its biological bases in dyskinetic cerebral palsy, as measured by diffusion and structural magnetic resonance imaging. Specifically, the current thesis formulated the following four aims, which were accomplished through four studies. First, to analyse the impact of executive function on quality of life in people with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (Study 1). Second, to map executive and intellectual functioning in people with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (Study 2). Third, to identify brain structure alterations in participants with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (Study 3 and Study 4). Fourth, to investigate the neural correlate of executive and general intellectual functioning in participants with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (Study 3 and Study 4).The main findings of the studies are the following. (1) An executive function domain, cognitive flexibility, is an important driver of quality of life in people with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. (2) People with dyskinetic cerebral palsy present difficulties in both general intellectual and executive functioning but goal setting abilities are close to those in typically developing controls. Additionally, people with dyskinetic cerebral palsy display better intellectual and executive functioning than people with spastic cerebral palsy, indicating a general tendency towards a better cognitive level rather than a specific dysexecutive deficit.(3) Observable white and grey matter lesions as well as white matter integrity are involved in dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Specifically, posterior lateral thalamus and the frontal lobe lesions are the most common in our sample of people with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. In this sample, the loss in the integrity of the white matter predominantly appears outside of the frontal lobe, mainly in the parietal cortex. (4) General intellectual functioning is related to white matter integrity in several cortico-cortical and cortico-subcortical regions and with observable brain lesions particularly in the posterior thalamus. Executive functions were related with white matter microstructure in regions containing fronto-cortical and posterior cortico-subcortical pathways and with observable brain lesions particularly in the parietal lobe and the middle and posterior corpus callosum. Unexpectedly, neither in terms of white matter microstructure nor in terms of observable lesions, was there a significant relationship between executive function and the fronto-striatal pathways.References1.

Full textShortly after birth, healthy infants exhibit so-called fidgety movements, while infants who later develop cerebral palsy (CP) lack these movements. General Movement Assessment (GMA) which is a clinical method, has proven its accuracy in detecting the absence (or presence) of fidgety movements, but for practical reasons, this method has not been adopted widely in the clinics. In order to create a similar but objective computer-based approach, Berg (2008) and Meinecke (2006) have studied discriminative features based on movement data collected from electromagnetic sensors and video. In this thesis, in addition to evaluation and comparison of previously introduced features, different classification methods have been applied to a suboptimal subset of these features. The results from linear and nonlinear separability analyses of features, confirm that dynamic features have better descriptive capabilities compared to statistically characterized features. Furthermore, it turns out that fidgety movements in the head (neck) and the arms show significant potential in distinguishing normal and abnormal infants, compared to signals from the trunk and the feet. The achieved results show 86% sensitivity and 90% specificity, which are highly acceptable, but this study needs further attendance before having any clinical usability. This study contains the first step of a typical medical research, meaning that the global (generalized) validity of the implemented methods are yet to be investigated, suppose that a representative selection (data) is available.

Full textEn justerbar stol utvecklades för barn med cerebral pares i Uganda. Stolarna dessa barn använder idag är specialdesignade vilket innebär att de inte kan användas när barnet växer ur stolen. Ibland används då stolen av andra barn och ger därmed inte det stöd som barnet behöver. Projektet genomfördes i huvudstaden, Kampala, av de två designingenjörsstudenter Faith Auma och Emma Lingehed i samarbete med Makerere University, Kampala school for the physically handicapped och Katalemwa Cheshire home. Målet med projektet var att hjälpa elever med cerebral pares redan från unga år att utveckla ett korrekt sittbeteende och bli mer fysiskt oberoende. Stolen ska kunna tillverkas och monteras i Uganda och materialet ska finnas i landet. Projektet började med att studera och klargöra problemet, information samlades in genom litteraturstudier, studiebesök och intervjuer. Den insamlade informationen användes för att skapa en kravspecifikation med fokus på säkerhet, miljö, tillverkning och ergonomi. Bakgrundsinformationen användes under idégenereringen. Ett antal idéer genererades och utvärderades tills ett slutgiltigt koncept hittades. Det slutgiltiga konceptet, Billy, valdes genom en concept scoring där det utvärderades mot tre andra koncept. Billy ansågs vara det koncept som var enklast att tillverka i Uganda och hade den enklaste konstruktionen. Billy vidareutvecklades och blev det slutliga konceptet Entebbe. Entebbe är en stol som är justerbar och ger det stöd ett barn med cerebral pares behöver. En prototyp tillverkades vid Katalemwa Cheshire home. Entebbe kan tillverkas i Uganda och eftersom den är modulbaserad är den lätt att reparera och ändra storlek på genom att enkelt byta ut de berörda delarna. Detta innebär att delarna även kan återanvändas för att bygga andra stolar. Entebbe kan justeras på fem olika sätt och inga verktyg krävs för att montera ihop stolen.

Sandström, Karin. "Adults with Cerebral Palsy : living with a lifelong disability." Licentiate thesis, Faculty of Health Sciences, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-15771.
Full textAlthough Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a lifelong disability, the research has mainly focused in children with CP. However, in recent years new studies have examined the different aspects of being an adult with a congenital disability.
The overall aim of this thesis is to contribute to increased knowledge and understanding in living with cerebral palsy as an adult, with special focus on the lived body and physiotherapy/physical activity.
The thesis is based on two populations. The first population (study I) consists of 48 individuals with a variation in gross motor function equivalent to the general CP‐population, including all five levels according to a gross motor classification (Gross Motor Function Classification System, GMFCS). The second population (study II and III), consists of 22 individuals, representing level II to IV according to the gross motor classification (GMFCS).
Study I comprises structured questions and clinical investigations with well‐recognized assessment instruments and are analysed according to quantitative methods. Study II and III are based on in‐depth interviews and are analysed using qualitative methods.
The overall result is that there is a deterioration of motor function in many individuals already early in adulthood. These deteriorations are preceded and/or followed by musculoskeletal problems such as pain and limited range of motion, often in combination with fatigue. Despite deteriorations many people maintain daily personal activities, but are often forced to prioritize among societal activities.
The deterioration is often perceived as slow and imperceptible, but it also results in a change in self‐image with new thoughts about otherness and being different. This can be experienced in relation to activity limitations with difficulties in taking part in other people’s activities, but also in relation to attitudes and treatment from other people. The process of deterioration also influences autonomy, with limited ability to determine one’s own daily life.
Important prerequisites for carrying out physical activity in a longer perspective is that it has to be enjoyable, give effects, be comprehensible and integrated in daily life. In addition it is important with support from competent professionals in health care. Experiences of these prerequisites vary and, above all, in adulthood the lack of competent support is a factor which is illuminated of the majority of the interviewed and assessed individuals.

An exoskeleton for the purpose of helping cerebral palsy patients learn to walk is not limited to one specific form depending on the complexity of the tasks it is desired to assist with. However, there are a couple needs of this type of exoskeleton that are absolutely necessary. The size of the exoskeleton must be designed around the size of a child and not an adult. If the individual is learning to walk from the very beginning, the controls of the device will need to initially be able to take complete control over the individualâ s limbs to exercise the motions of walking. With the nature of an exoskeleton controlling the limbs of a person instead of simply assisting with current movements, the physical attachments of the exoskeleton must be improved from current designs in order to make movements of the exoskeleton and the body more parallel. Other features such as different muscle sensing techniques may also improve performance, but are not required. An exoskeleton that can help cerebral palsy patients learn to walk can also be applied to many other rehabilitation needs.
